A service keeps the configuration it was started with (srvparam.config)
and its threads and its clients' read it there: limits and counters
(alwaysauth, the limiter), RADIUS, dnspr's name servers, and the checks
for a reload in the accept loop and in sockmap(). The configuration is
still reloaded in place, so it is the current one for now; this is what
lets a reload build a new one while the old one still serves.

conf is now a pointer to the current configuration rather than the
structure itself: at first confboot, which exists before main() runs, as
plugins and the standalone services use it too; later configurations
will start from confdefaults. Both are made from confinit.h, the one list
of initial values. The timeouts are an array of the configuration
instead of a pointer to a global one. Nothing behaves differently yet.

They are the state of the process, not configuration: conf.time (now
curtime), timetoexit and needreload are globals of their own. Plugins
reach needreload through a pointer added at the end of struct
pluginlink; LdapPlugin uses it. The extern for a paused global, never
defined, goes.

A socket which hung up and of which nothing is asked was given to poll()
as INVALID_SOCKET, so that poll() would not return at once for the
hang-up every time. poll() ignores a negative descriptor, but SOCKET is
unsigned on Windows, and WSAPoll fails the whole call for it: sockmap()
ended the session as soon as a client half-closed. Such a socket is now
not in the array at all.

sockmap() took a hang-up on a socket it had data to write to for a peer
it could no longer write to. With poll() a hang-up comes once both sides
are shut down, so that held. WSAPoll reports one as soon as the peer has
half-closed, still reading, and a half-closed client got nothing on
Windows: the test added with the previous fix failed there.
The write is now tried, and a peer really gone makes it fail, which
ends the connection as before. WSAPoll keeps reporting the hang-up
whether the socket has room or not, so on Windows room is waited for
with select() first unless poll() reported it too.

The fixed buffers hold 16384 + 64 bytes, a whole TLS record and its
header, which tlspr needs. sockmap() read all of that from one side and
wrote it to the other, so a side using TLS was written a full record and
another of 64 bytes for every full buffer: twice the records, twice the
writes. Data relayed into the fixed buffers is now read 16384 bytes at
most; a buffer already holding more, as tlspr can leave it, or a larger
one taken for a filter, is used whole.
Ending TLS for 1 MB answers this takes 25% more throughput from the
same CPU (Intel, 4.4 to 5.5 Gbit/s); plain relaying is not affected.

When the client shuts down its sending side, sockmap() shuts down the
server's in turn, and once the server has answered and closed, poll()
reports a hang-up on its socket. A socket sockmap() had nothing to ask
of at that moment, its buffer being full for a slow client, was still
polled, and a hang-up there ended both directions: whatever of the
answer was still unread in the kernel was dropped and the client got an
end of stream in the middle of it, megabytes short with large answers.
A hang-up on such a socket now only marks it: what is left is read
once the buffer has room, up to the end of the stream as usual. Errors
still end the connection. Since poll() reports a hang-up whatever is
asked, the socket is left out of poll() while nothing is asked of it.
The same holds for the client's side, for an upload cut short after the
server half-closes.

-s takes the directions to splice: -s1 what the server sends (downloads),
-s2 what the client sends (uploads), -s3 both. -s alone (-s7) splices both
only where it pays, as -s5 and -s6 do for one direction:
- a body of known length is spliced if at least 16K of it is left to read
once what is already buffered is counted, so an answer read whole with
its headers is just copied;
- a stream of unknown length starts copied, is spliced after 2 reads in a
row of at least 16K, and goes back to copying after 3 splices in a row
of less than 4K, once its pipe is empty.
Pipes are made when a direction first splices and kept with the
connection for its next mappings, so a kept-alive connection no longer
makes and closes two pipes per request; one left holding data by an
error or a timeout is closed. The direction not spliced keeps its buffer.
Before, -s spliced both directions and every mapping made both pipes,
which made small answers slower than without splice: with kept-alive
50K answers 2 pipe2() and 4 close() per request, now none.
Also corrects the default buffer size in the -b help (65536 for TCP).

`proxy -g8000,3,10`
First parameter is average read size we want to keep, second parameter is
minimal number of packets in the same direction to apply algorythm,
last value is delay added after polling and prior to reading data.
An example above adds 10 millisecond delay before reading data if average
polling size is below 8000 bytes and 3 read operations are made in the same
direction. It's specially usefule with splice. `logdump 1 1` is useful
to see how grace delays work, choose delay value to avoid filling the read
pipe/buffer (typically 64K) but keep the request sizes close to chosen average
on large file upload/download.
- sockmapping rewritten from stratch to minimilse polling. poll() is now
only called if blocking is actually expected, splice pipes are now
polled if splice fails, buffers flushing is much more accurate.
- logging code moved to separate files
- signal masks added to client threads to prevent unneeded interruptions
- bandwidth limitation will not delay the thread after client or server
shutdown
